    I'm just wondering if it's possible to upgrade the sound card in the P-6831/60? What would you recommend upgrading it to?

    Thanks!

    Could you explain to me the difference? Where would I put the external card? How does it attach. Which ones are compatible with the P-6831/60?

    Thanks!

    Amazon sells it through a vendor which is 189.99. Amazon sells it thru them for 89.99 but it ships in 1-3 months. Clearly I do not want to pay 190 or wait 3 months. Do you know anywhere else to buy this? eBay has one..
